I have tried your code, with a little trick of mine and it work like magic.

NSArray *imageArray = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                       [UIImage imageNamed:@"tmp-0"],
                       [UIImage imageNamed:@"tmp-1"],
                       [UIImage imageNamed:@"tmp-2"],
                       [UIImage imageNamed:@"tmp-3"],
                       [UIImage imageNamed:@"tmp-4"],
                       [UIImage imageNamed:@"tmp-5"],
                       [UIImage imageNamed:@"tmp-6"],
                       [UIImage imageNamed:@"tmp-7"],nil];

UIButton *barButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
[barButton setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"tmp-0"] forState:UIControlStateNormal]; // mine trick
[barButton.imageView setAnimationImages:imageArray];
[barButton.imageView setAnimationDuration:1.0f];

[barButton.imageView startAnimating];
[barButton sizeToFit];

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithCustomView:barButton];

You need to give a image to barButton at first, so your button can make its frame

@ShriramKadam i does not understand it, will you please explain this in your question ? — Pawan Rai, Sep 01 '15 at 14:56
